Give the people the power to choose, and stop making excuses
DEAR EDITOR,
The most recent and shocking phrase that was introduced by the PNC, “there must be free, fair and credible elections “, and sung by David Granger, is not in the DNA of such a political party. In fact, the PNC is more associated with the rigging of General and Regional elections. There are numerous ways which the integrity of elections can be affected, not only by a “clean” voters list.
Some of the ways in affecting elections results are: – elections results may be improperly tallied or reported; inaccuracies may be introduced by human error or because of a lack of proper oversight; the vote can be affected if fraudulent voting e.g., multiple voting, illegal voting etc., occurs; elections tallies and reporting may also be affected by malicious actors.
Information to voters may be manipulated to mislead potential voters, registration data can be tampered to disenfranchised potential voters.
Sometimes after the primary reporting of results, evidence that enables verification of reported results may be altered or destroyed resulting in no external auditing and verification.
The biggest joke is when you have a valid NCM against a Government you suddenly decided to overhaul an electoral system that facilitated the said APNU/AFC coalition Government to win Government.
The APNU/AFC coalition Government has fallen, elections are constitutionally due, David Granger must give the people the power to choose, give a date for elections now, and stop making excuses.
Regards
Zamal Hussain
